My condolences to Lucy's family, husband and children. I have not seen Lucy since high school when we were in the Liberty High School Band together. She was a senior when I was a freshman. I looked up to her and admired her as a leader in our band and remember that she was the lone female trombone player! So sorry to hear of her passing. Your family will be in my prayers.

My prayers are with all of Lucy's family. I always enjoyed sitting and visiting with Lucy at Jessica and my son, Ryan's, children's theater plays and practices. We had a lot of laughs and I will truly miss her. I'm so glad God gave me the chance to see her one more time before her passing and to give her a hug even though I didn't know it was saying good-bye at the time. However, down the road from now, we'll be able to give a hug again and say "hello"....

~ God Bless the Moyer Family ~

My thoughts go out to Lucy's husband, children and family. I taught with Lucy at Vintage Parkway from 2000-2005 and saw her often around town after that. I will always remember her bright smile and fun loving nature.

Mrs. Moyer was my son"s Kindergarten teacher. He is in 6th grade now but she helped instill his love of education into his life which Im truly grateful. She passed on her love of books to him and everyday he learns something new by opening a book. I cannot put into words how much she will be honored and missed. Thank you Mrs. Moyer for giving my son his first start.
